Well, now you got me going .. so stupid signs saying some
text in some language are better than symbols? I'm talking
about the weired way that 99% of all signs in the US are
written text. Beside that reading them takes way more time,
isn't it especialy stupid in a country baesed on emigrants,
of whoom most can't even read their native language?

I mean, except for some realy ninor quirks, I can go almost
everywhere on the world and perfectly recognize the speed
linkit, no stop znoes, and whatever without speaking a danm
word of that language... except of course the US...

Gruss

(and for tose 'international' stuff inside cars, I always
suspect they are only understood by americans ... of
European origin they can't be)
